tulle. IL is allowable now to have the tulls
embroidered upon the edges, and this GER
tainly adds to its appearance.
A "loye of a bonnet lately noticed was a
very tiny sort Of turban shape, entirely
of wire net, whose interstices we're filled
with forget me- nots, which entirely COW
cred it, and which, with one or two green
leaves, by way or contrast, formed the
whole garniture. The idea was a very
fresh, sweet, and pretty conception. and
yet ii You were TO investigate the price of
such a bonnet you would be surprised TO
find how reasonable it would be. A'great
deal better than some of the tawdry crea-
tons for which our fashionable milliners
charge from ST. to S35.
Lady tricyclists wear very simple dresses
of light wooden materials, made with the
most severe simplicity. The skirt is a
mere petticoat of the cloth, having neither
drapery nor trimming, the object attained
by such n skirt being entire freedom to the
limbs. little round cloth cap surmounts
the head, and Norfolk jacket clothes the
upper part of the figure. So attired, our
young ladies are comfortably and very con-
veniently dressed for the exercise of this
agreeable amusement There is really,
however, little to distinguish these dresses
from lawn tennis costumes, except that the
latter are usually accompanied with slight
skirt draperies.
For wear at the seashore, very attractive
toilets of white vigogne are seen, which

our fashionables at the favorite watering
places-they are so fresh and attractive.
The trimming used for such dress is
navy-blue braid entirely, and the basque
is made with narrow vest of blue wooden
goods. The draperies are very plain, and
straw sailor hat trimmed with blue and
white ribbons is set jauntily upon the head
of the wearer.
Bathing suits are already being prepared,
but they do not exhibit very great differ
ences from those worn last season.
Dresses for the ball room, when they are
intended for informal and ceremonial af-
fairs in the city, continue TO be of satin or

But for the assemblages which are gath

youthful appearance upon the wearer-
even though she be of "certain" age.
Reception dresses which look we'll on
young figures are in maize colored faille,
trimmed with lace and ribbon. These are
made with rather long wasted bodies, on
which the elbow sleeves are of lace, the
lower portion of the arms remaining bare.
Where one would expect TO find another
exposed portion, Mt the threat, there is in
stead pretty insertion of lace, bordered
with a kind of frill of the same, amidst the
folds of which rests O dainty little pearl
brooch. half hidden.
The skirt of such dress consists of a
foundation upon which lace overdress is
loosely gathered. Hanging panels of the
maize faille, which flap up occasionally to
show deep crimson Innings, are dependent
above this lace skirt, and between these
panels large knots of crimson ribbon are
placed. Crimson silk stockings peep out
from beneath the foot plating which ter
inmates the skirt, and the feet are further
incased in maize satin slippers.
